Abstract
An apparatus is provided for a lighthead which allows the lamp to be serviced without removing any components of the lighthead. The invention includes a lamp socket connected to the handle of the lighthead. The handle can be displaced from an operative position to expose the lamp for maintenance while remaining attached to the lighthead to prevent damage or loss of the components.
